Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who have found the Guru's feet are emancipated — they have crossed over the worldly ocean.
God Himself becomes their Protector. Their affairs are brought to fruition.
The Guru's feet as the crossing-point: finding them is crossing the ocean.
The Gur charan (Guru's Feet) as the crossing point. Finding the Guru's Feet is simultaneously finding the way across the ocean of existence. Not the Guru's knowledge or teachings only — the Feet specifically, which represents the most humble approach and the most complete surrender.
"God Himself becomes their Protector" — when the Guru's Feet are found, divine protection follows automatically. The Guru and the divine are not separate in their protection; finding one means being under the care of both.
What would genuine humility feel like in your relationship to a teacher or guide — not performance of humility, but actually being at the feet? What would that change?
